I've done many walks with Open Carry Texas, where I have carried my rifle. I've even gone grocery shopping, gone out to eat, etc. all while carrying my rifle. But I've had something on my mind I've been wanting to try for quite some time. You see, a lot of guys are now open-carrying black powder pistols since they are unregulated and not considered a firearm. But I've been thinking about carrying my Walther P99 (see picture below) It is a replica of a Walther P99 and will fit perfectly in an paddle holster, like a Serpa. For those who don't know, this type of gun can be deadly with the correct shot placement. I doubt it would penetrate bone, but it would certainly bury these lead pellets several inches into the flesh, even through clothing. However, the reason I would want to carry it is not so much because it would be a great defensive weapon, but rather to test the law. This gun looks in every respect like the real thing. But to my knowledge, it should be just as unregulated as black powder. So far, I've not seen anyone test the law in this regard. And when/if the police come up to me, they'll be under the impression that I'm open carrying a real firearm. I'm not sure how they'll respond. Does anyone know of any applicable laws or any other people who have tested the law with this?
